Naina stirred, blinking against the dim glow of the evening light filtering through the curtains.

She felt her head was resting against a firm, warm chest, and it hit her.

Everything that happened a few hours ago. Everything he did. But I had a dazey recollection of it.

Anyway, what the heck was wrong with him. He was sitting in the same position. What if it caused a sprain?

Naina! Let him have one. Why are you worrying about him?

Oh,and I was still sitting on his lap. F*ck.

Just as she was about to shift, she felt him stir.

His arms tightened slightly around her as he murmured, his voice a playful rumble, "Comfortable, aren't we?"

She found him looking down at her, his jaw slightly above her.

"Hmph" I sarcastically replied and dashed to the door.I was trained enough to at least to not fall for the same trick again.

"Accha, ji...?" He smirked. I could feel his gaze and it had a little softness hiding.

"Someone has to prepare for dinner," she stammered, realising that she was staring at him.

" I will sleep with the maids then,since you're so keen on taking their place."He chuckled, and just snuggled back to the bedsheet.

" I deserve an explanation-"

My heart pounded for some reason as I almost tripped on the stairs.

Get a grip Naina.

"Naina!" Kriti  exclaimed.

She immediately hugged me before I could reach the bottom of the stairs.

"Devrani ji, we have been waiting since lunch. Aap kahan tai?" Abhimanyu asked with a pout.

It felt really weird to be called 'devrani'. I was happy with my name and I didn't want to accept it.

He was Dhruv's cousin brother.

"Saas leno tho do bichari ko." Choti maa said, hitting kriti.

"Bichari nahi kal ki Maharani." She added as I touched her feet in respect.

"Naina, the food was out of this world. Aap ki rahas  tho bataye."  Kriti interrupted , patting my back.

"Pagal hai tu? Why would one spill their own secret?" Sahil objected as he barged in through the door.
